I just think this is something more people should know.

It seems Dolby has come up with a way to present 5.1 surround sound over 5 channels (bass goes through front two channels) through a normal set of headphones. Think of the possibilities and applications. Sounds dubious? If you don't believe us, check out: http://www.dolby.com/dolbyheadphone/

Some may not realise this but Dolby did not come up with headphone surround,Lake Technologies in Australia did.Dolby operate under licence from them.
Their surround amp,$2000 in australia is generally acknowledged to wipe the floor with everything else on the market.It's a full rack size amp but only about an inch high and works with ordinary headphones.The sound is as good as the headroom max but it just does not go very loud,it's only drawback.....apart from the price of course!!
